Cosmetic compositions having long lasting shine

ABSTRACT

The present invention is directed to a cosmetic composition containing: a) a block copolymer; b) a primary tackifies; c) a high viscosity ester; d) an alkoxylated mixed polyester; e) a wax; f) a solvent; and g) optionally, a colorant. The invention is also directed to a method of making up keratinous substrates involving applying onto the keratinous substrates said composition.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Cosmetic compositions used to make up or enhance the appearance ofkeratinous substrates such as skin, lips, hair and eyelashes areoftentimes required to be able to impart various properties such as highshine or gloss, long lasting shine and good or long wear of color.However, the formulation of cosmetic products that can deliver all theseproperties at the same time can pose some challenges. For example,cosmetic compositions using traditional ingredients known to impartshine or gloss, such as oils, have very poor wear properties. In orderto overcome these problems, film forming resins such as silicone filmforming resins are generally employed to improve the wear of cosmeticcompositions. While the use of silicone film forming resins in cosmeticsis popular, one drawback associated with their use is that they tend tobe brittle and flake off.

Alternatively, two step products have been developed, using a topcoat toprovide shine and/or comfort to a basecoat which is matte and/or dry inan effort to provide good wear and long-lasting shine at the same time.However, this presents the drawback of having to formulate two differentcompositions and to the consumer who has to employ two separateproducts.

Thus, it is an object of the present invention to provide a method andcomposition for making-up a keratinous substrate such as skin or hair ina manner which delivers a combination of good wear, liquid-like shineeffect and long lasting shine properties, as well as a non-tacky feel,comfort, cushion, moisturization and desirable creamy texturecharacteristics upon application onto skin. At the same time, it is alsoan object of the present invention to provide cosmetic compositions,particularly, lipstick compositions, that have minimum feathering andmigration properties.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A first aspect of the present invention is directed to a method ofmaking up keratinous substrates involving applying onto the keratinoussubstrates a composition containing: a) at least one block copolymer; b)at least one primary tackifier; c) at least one high viscosity ester; d)at least one alkoxylated mixed polyester; e) at least one wax; f) atleast one solvent; and g) optionally, a colorant.

A second aspect of the present invention is directed to a cosmeticcomposition comprising: a) at least one block copolymer; b) at least oneprimary tackifier; c) at least one high viscosity ester; d) at least onealkoxylated mixed polyester; e) at least one wax; f) at least onesolvent; and g) optionally, a colorant.

It has been surprisingly discovered that the use of the above-disclosedcosmetic composition delivers long wear of color, a liquid-like shineeffect, and long lasting shine, while exhibiting minimal feathering andmigration disadvantages.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

As used herein, the expression “at least one” means one or more and thusincludes individual components as well as mixtures/combinations.

Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, allnumbers expressing quantities of ingredients and/or reaction conditionsare to be understood as being modified in all instances by the term“about,” meaning within 10% to 15% of the indicated number.

“Film former” or “film forming agent” or “film-forming polymer” as usedherein means a polymer or resin that leaves a film on the substrate towhich it is applied, for example, after a solvent accompanying the filmformer has evaporated, absorbed into and/or dissipated on the substrate.

“Long wear” compositions as used herein, refers to compositions wherecolor remains the same or substantially the same as at the time ofapplication, as viewed by the naked eye, after an extended period oftime. Long wear properties may be evaluated by any method known in theart for evaluating such properties. For example, long wear may beevaluated by a test involving the application of a composition to lipsand evaluating the color of the composition after an extended period oftime. For example, the color of a composition may be evaluatedimmediately following application to lips and these characteristics maythen be re-evaluated and compared after a certain amount of time.Further, these characteristics may be evaluated with respect to othercompositions, such as commercially available compositions.

“Tackiness” as used herein refers to the adhesion between twosubstances. For example, the more tackiness there is between twosubstances, the more adhesion there is between the substances. Toquantify “tackiness,” it is useful to determine the “work of adhesion”as defined by IUPAC associated with the two substances. Generallyspeaking, the work of adhesion measures the amount of work necessary toseparate two substances. Thus, the greater the work of adhesionassociated with two substances, the greater the adhesion there isbetween the substances, meaning the greater the tackiness is between thetwo substances.

Work of adhesion and, thus, tackiness, can be quantified usingacceptable techniques and methods generally used to measure adhesion,and is typically reported in units of force time (for example, gramseconds (“g s”)). For example, the TA-XT2 from Stable Micro Systems,Ltd. can be used to determine adhesion following the procedures setforth in the TA-XT2 Application Study (ref: MATI/PO.25), revised January2000, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.According to this method, desirable values for work of adhesion forsubstantially non-tacky substances include less than about 0.5 g s, lessthan about 0.4 g s, less than about 0.3 g s and less than about 0.2 g s.As known in the art, other similar methods can be used on other similaranalytical devices to determine adhesion.

“Substituted” as used herein, means comprising at least one substituent.Non-limiting examples of substituents include atoms, such as oxygenatoms and nitrogen atoms, as well as functional groups, such as hydroxylgroups, ether groups, alkoxy groups, acyloxyalky groups, oxyalkylenegroups, polyoxyalkylene groups, carboxylic acid groups, amine groups,acylamino groups, amide groups, halogen containing groups, ester groups,thiol groups, sulphonate groups, thiosulphate groups, siloxane groups,and polysiloxane groups. The substituent(s) may be further substituted.

The composition of the present invention may be in any form, eitherliquid or non-liquid (semi-solid, soft solid, solid, etc.). For example,it may be a paste, a solid, a gel, or a cream. It may be an emulsion,such as an oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsion, a multiple emulsion,such as an oil-in-water-in-oil emulsion or a water-in-oil-in-wateremulsion, or a solid, rigid or supple gel. The composition of theinvention may, for example, comprise an external or continuous fattyphase. The composition can also be a molded composition or cast as astick or a dish.

Depending on the intended application, such as a stick, hardness of thecomposition may also be considered. The hardness of a composition may,for example, be expressed in gramforce (gf). The composition of thepresent invention may, for example, have a hardness ranging from 20 gfto 2000 gf, such as from 20 gf to 900 gf, and further such as from 20 gfto 600 gf.

This hardness is measured in one of two ways. A first test for hardnessis according to a method of penetrating a probe into the composition andin particular using a texture analyzer (for example TA-XT21 from Rheo)equipped with an ebonite cylinder of height 25 mm and diameter 8 mm. Thehardness measurement is carried out at 20° C. at the center of 5 samplesof the composition. The cylinder is introduced into each sample ofcomposition at a pre-speed of 2 mm/s and then at a speed of 0.5 mm/s andfinally at a post-speed of 2 mm/s, the total displacement being 1 mm.The recorded hardness value is that of the maximum peak observed. Themeasurement error is □50 gf.

The second test for hardness is the “cheese wire” method, which involvescutting an 8.1 mm or preferably 12.7 mm in diameter stick compositionand measuring its hardness at 20° C. using a DFGHS 2 tensile testingmachine from Indelco-Chatillon Co. at a speed of 100 mm/minute. Thehardness value from this method is expressed in grams as the shear forcerequired to cut a stick under the above conditions. According to thismethod, the hardness of compositions according to the present inventionwhich may be in stick form may, for example, range from 30 gf to 300 gf,such as from 30 gf to 250 gf, for a sample of 8.1 mm in diameter stick,and further such as from 30 gf to 200 gf, and also further such as from30 gf to 120 gf for a sample of 12.7 mm in diameter stick.

The hardness of the composition of the present invention may be suchthat the compositions are self-supporting and can easily disintegrate toform a satisfactory deposit on keratin materials. In addition, thishardness may impart good impact strength to the inventive compositions,which may be molded or cast, for example, in stick or dish form.

The skilled artisan may choose to evaluate a composition using at leastone of the tests for hardness outlined above based on the applicationenvisaged and the hardness desired. If one obtains an acceptablehardness value, in view of the intended application, from at least oneof these hardness tests, the composition falls within preferredembodiments of the invention.

As defined herein, stability is tested by placing the composition in acontrolled environment chamber for 8 weeks at 25° C. In this test, thephysical condition of the sample is inspected as it is placed in thechamber. The sample is then inspected again at 24 hours, 3 days, 1 week,2 weeks, 4 weeks and 8 weeks. At each inspection, the sample is examinedfor abnormalities in the composition such as phase separation if thecomposition is in the form of an emulsion, bending or leaning if thecomposition is in stick form, melting, or syneresis (or sweating). Thestability is further tested by repeating the 8-week test at 25° C., 37°C., 45° C. and under freeze-thaw conditions. A composition is consideredto lack stability if in any of these tests an abnormality that impedesfunctioning of the composition is observed. The skilled artisan willreadily recognize an abnormality that impedes functioning of acomposition based on the intended application.

The cosmetic compositions and methods of the present invention cancomprise, consist of, or consist essentially of the essential elementsand limitations of the invention described herein, as well as anyadditional or optional ingredients, components, or limitations describedherein or otherwise useful in personal care.

Block Copolymer

The block copolymers of the present invention are characterized by thepresence of at least one “hard” segment, and at least one “soft”segment. Aside from their compositional nature, the hard and softsegments of the block copolymers of the present invention are defined interms of their respective glass transition temperatures, “T_(g)”. Moreparticularly, the hard segment has a T_(g) of 50° C. or more, whereasthe soft segment has a T_(g) of 20° C. or less. The glass transitiontemperature T_(g) for the hard block can range from 50° C. to 150° C.;60° C. to 125° C.; 70° C. to 120° C.; 80° C. to 110° C. The glasstransition temperature T_(g) for the soft segment of the block copolymercan range from 20° C. to −150° C.; 0° C. to −135° C.; −10° C. to −125°C.; −25° C. to −100° C. A more in depth explanation can be found in U.S.Pat. Nos. 5,294,438 and 6,403,070, the entire contents of which arehereby incorporated by reference.

One type of block copolymer which may be employed by the presentinvention is a thermoplastic elastomer. The hard segments of thethermoplastic elastomer typically comprise vinyl monomers in varyingamounts. Examples of suitable vinyl monomers include, but are notlimited to, styrene, methacrylate, acrylate, vinyl ester, vinyl ether,vinyl acetate, and the like.

The soft segments of the thermoplastic elastomer comprise olefinpolymers and/or copolymers which may be saturated, unsaturated, orcombinations thereof. Suitable olefin copolymers may include, but arenot limited to, ethylene/propylene copolymers, ethylene/butylenecopolymers, propylene/butylene copolymers, polybutylene, polyisoprene,polymers of hydrogenated butanes and isoprenes, and mixtures thereof.

Thermoplastic elastomers useful in the present invention are blockcopolymers e.g., di-block, tri-block, multi-block, radial and star blockcopolymers, and mixtures and blends thereof. A di-block thermoplasticelastomer is usually defined as an A-B type or a hard segment (A)followed by a soft segment (B) in sequence. A tri-block is usuallydefined as an A-B-A type copolymer or a ratio of one hard, one soft, andone hard segment. Multi-block or radial block or star blockthermoplastic elastomers usually contain any combination of hard andsoft segments, provided that the elastomers possess both hard and softcharacteristics.

In some embodiments, the thermoplastic elastomer of the presentinvention may be chosen from the class of Kraton™ rubbers (ShellChemical Company) or from similar thermoplastic elastomers. Kraton™rubbers are thermoplastic elastomers in which the polymer chainscomprise a di-block, tri-block, multi-block or radial or star blockconfiguration or numerous mixtures thereof. The Kraton™ tri-blockrubbers have polystyrene (hard) segments on each end of a rubber (soft)segment, while the Kraton™ di-block rubbers have a polystyrene (hard)segment attached to a rubber (soft) segment. The Kraton™ radial or starconfiguration may be a four-point or other multipoint star made ofrubber with a polystyrene segment attached to each end of a rubbersegment. The configuration of each of the Kraton™ rubbers forms separatepolystyrene and rubber domains.

Each molecule of Kraton™ rubber is said to comprise block segments ofstyrene monomer units and rubber monomer and/or co-monomer units. Themost common structure for the Kraton™ triblock copolymer is the linearA-B-A block type styrene-butadiene-styrene, styrene-isoprene-styrene,styrene-ethylenepropylene-styrene, or styrene-ethylenebutylene-styrene.The Kraton™ di-block is preferably the AB block type such asstyrene-ethylenepropylene, styrene-ethylenebutylene, styrene-butadiene,or styrene-isoprene. The Kraton™ rubber configuration is well known inthe art and any block copolymer elastomer with a similar configurationis within the practice of the invention. Other block copolymers are soldunder the tradename Septon (which represent elastomers known as SEEPS,sold by Kurary, Co., Ltd) and those sold by Exxon Dow under thetradename Vector™.

Other thermoplastic elastomers useful in the present invention includethose block copolymer elastomers comprising astyrene-butylene/ethylene-styrene copolymer (tri-block), anethylene/propylene-styrene copolymer (radial or star block) or a mixtureor blend of the two. (Some manufacturers refer to block copolymers ashydrogenated block copolymers, e.g. hydrogenatedstyrene-butylene/ethylene-styrene copolymer (tri-block)).

The amounts of the block (co)polymer or (co)polymers, as well as theirstructure (di-block, tri-block, etc.), affect the nature of thethermoplastic elastomer, including its gelled form, which may range fromfragile to soft/flexible to firm. For instance, soft gels containrelatively high amounts of soft segments, and firm gels containrelatively high amounts of hard segments. The overall properties of thecomposition may also be affected by including more than one such blockcopolymer e.g., including a mixture of copolymers. For example, thepresence of tri-block copolymers enhances the integrity of the filmformed. The gel may also be transparent, translucent or opaque,depending upon the other cosmetically acceptable ingredients added, asdescribed herein.

It is preferred that the styrene content of the block copolymer be lessthan 30% by weight, preferably less than 25% by weight, and morepreferably less than 20% by weight, based on the weight of the blockcopolymer. This is because of the tendency of block copolymers having astyrene content of greater than 30% by weight to harden/gel inconventional carrier systems. However, in the event that a blockcopolymer having a styrene content of greater than 30% by weight isused, it may be necessary to also employ a co-solvent or functionalingredient capable of dissolving a styrene block in an amount effectiveto control the hardening/gelling of the styrene-containing elastomer inthe cosmetic composition.

Particularly preferred block copolymers include di-block copolymerscomprised of a styrene monomer in combination with at least one secondmonomer chosen from ethylene and butylene; tri-block copolymerscomprised of at least two styrene monomers in combination with at leastone second monomer chosen ethylene and butylene; and mixtures ofdi-block and tri-block copolymers.

A particularly preferred block copolymer for use in the presentinvention is a mixture of at least one di-block copolymer and at leastone tri-block copolymer wherein the di- and tri-block copolymers arecomprised of at least one styrene monomer in combination with at leastone additional monomer chosen from ethylene and butylene. A particularlypreferred block copolymer is Kraton G1657M® (also known as hydrogenatedstyrene/butadiene copolymer) which is comprised of 29% by weight of adi-block copolymer and 71% by weight of a tri-block copolymer, allweights based on the total weight of the block copolymer, commerciallyavailable from Kraton Polymers. It should be noted, however, that anythermoplastic elastomer of the block copolymer type having at least onesoft and at least one hard segment may be used without departing fromthe spirit of the invention.

The at least one block copolymer is present in the composition of theinvention in an amount ranging from about 0.1 to about 30% by weight,preferably from about 1% to about 20% by weight, or more preferably fromabout 5% to about 10% by weight, relative to the total weight of thecomposition.

Primary Tackifier

A substance is described as a tackifier if, by adding it to a blockcopolymer, the resulting composition has the properties of a pressuresensitive adhesive. In general, tackifiers can be divided into fourdifferent families in terms of their chemistry: hydrocarbon resins,terpenes, amorphous (i.e. non-crystalline) rosins, rosin esters andtheir derivatives, and pure monomer resins. These tackifiers arecharacterized by their compatibility with at least one segment of theblock copolymer. By the term “compatible”, it is meant that when theblock copolymer and tackifier are mixed, the combination of at least onesegment of the block copolymer with the tackifier forms a polymer blendhaving a single glass transition temperature T_(g) which may be measuredby DMA, DSC or neutron light scattering.

The compatibility of the block copolymer and the tackifier may also bedefined in terms of solubility parameters. The solubility parameter δaccording to the Hansen solubility space is defined in the article“Solubility Parameter Values” by Eric A. Grulke in the work “PolymerHandbook” 3rd edition, Chapter VII, pages 519-559, the entire content ofwhich is hereby incorporated by reference, by the relationship:

δ=(d _(D) ² +d _(P) ² +d _(H) ²)^(1/2), in which:

-   -   d_(D) characterizes the London dispersion forces resulting from        the formation of dipoles induced during molecular impacts,    -   d_(P) characterizes the forces of Debye interactions between        permanent dipoles,    -   d_(H) characterizes the forces of specific interactions        (hydrogen bond, acid/base or donor/acceptor type and the like).        The definition of the solvents in the three-dimensional        solubility space according to Hansen is given in the article        by C. M. Hansen: “The three-dimensional solubility        parameters” J. Paint Technol., 39, 105 (1967), the entire        content of which is hereby incorporated by reference.

The at least one primary tackifier used in the present invention willhave a solubility parameter corresponding to δ and the block copolymerwill have at least one segment whose solubility parameter corresponds toδ±2, preferably δ±1.7, more preferably δ±1.5, more preferably δ±1.3,more preferably δ±1.0, more preferably δ±0.7, more preferably δ±0.5, andmore preferably δ±0.3.

In some embodiments, the primary tackifier may have a softening point(Ring and Ball, as measured by ASTM E-28) of 80° C. to 150° C.,preferably 100° C. to 130° C. In other embodiments the primary tackifiermay be liquid and have an R and B softening point of between about −70°C. and 70° C.

In some embodiments, the primary tackifiers are hydrogenated hydrocarbonresins such as a hydrogenated styrene/methyl styrene/indene copolymere.g., styrene/methyl styrene/indene copolymers which include R1090,R1100, R7100, S1100, and S5100, all which are commercially availablefrom Eastman Chemical under the trade name Regalite®. In otherembodiments, aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon-based tackifying resins,for instance the resins sold under the name “Piccotac” and “Hercotac”from Hercules or “Escorez” from Exxon, may also be used. It is also tobe understood that mixtures of tackifiers may also be employed withoutdeparting from the spirit of the invention.

A particularly preferred primary tackifier for use in the presentinvention is a hydrogenated hydrocarbon resin derived from styrene,methyl styrene, and indene monomers, commercially available from Eastmanunder the tradename Regalite® R1100 (also known as hydrogenatedstyrene/methyl styrene/indene copolymer).

The at least one primary tackifier is present in the composition of theinvention in an amount ranging from about 1% to about 50% by weight,preferably from about 5% to about 40% by weight, or more preferably fromabout 10% to about 30% by weight, relative to the total weight of thecomposition.

It may, at times, be desirable to also employ at least one secondarytackifier in the composition of the present invention. The at least onesecondary tackifier is chosen from a hydrogenated polycyclopentadiene,commercially available from Kobo under the tradename Koboguard® 5400IDD.

The at least one secondary tackifier, if employed, will be present in anamount of from about 0.5% to about 20% by weight, preferably from about1% to about 15% by weight, or more preferably from about 2% to about 10%by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.

Gelling Agents

The compositions of the invention may also be optionally gelled with anoil-phase gelling agent. The gelling agent increases the viscosity ofthe composition and leads to a solid or flowable composition. Thegelling agent does not encompass waxes, in the sense that it is notwaxy. The at least one gelling agent may be chosen from gelling agentsin polymeric form and gelling agents in mineral form. The gelling agentmay be chosen from agents that gel via chemical cross-linking and agentsthat gel via physical cross-linking.

Modified clays may be used as gelling agents, examples of which include,but are not limited to, hectorites modified with an ammonium chloride ofa C₁₀ to C₂₂ fatty acid, such as hectorite modified withdistearyldimethylammonium chloride, also known as quaternium-18bentonite, such as the products sold or made under the names Bentone 34®by the company Rheox, Claytone XL®, Claytone 34® and Claytone 40® soldor made by the company Southern Clay, the modified clays known under thename quaternium-18 benzalkonium bentonites and sold or made under thenames Claytone HT®, Claytone GR® and Claytone PS® by the companySouthern Clay, the clays modified with stearyldimethylbenzoylammoniumchloride, known as stearalkonium bentonites, such as the products soldor made under the names Claytone APA® and Claytone AF® by the companySouthern Clay, and Baragel 24® sold or made by the company Rheox.

Other mineral gelling agents, which can be used in the invention,include silica, such as fumed silica. The fumed silica may have aparticle size, which may be nanometric to micrometric, for exampleranging from 5 nm to 200 nm.

The fumed silicas may be obtained by high-temperature hydrolysis of avolatile silicon compound in a hydrogen-oxygen flame, producing a finelydivided silica. This process makes it possible to obtain hydrophilicsilicas that have a large number of silanol groups at their surface.Such hydrophilic silicas are sold or made, for example, under the names“Aerosil 130®”, “Aerosil 200®”, “Aerosil 255®”, “Aerosil 300®” and“Aerosil 380®” by the company Degussa, and “CAB-O-SIL HS-5®”, “CAB-O-SILEH-5®”, “CAB-O-SIL LM-130®”, “CAB-O-SIL MS-55®” and “CAB-O-SIL M-5®” bythe company Cabot.

It is thus possible to chemically modify the surface of the hydrophilicsilica by chemical reaction, producing a reduction in the number ofsilanol groups. The silanol groups can be replaced, for example, withhydrophobic groups: this then gives a hydrophobic silica. Thehydrophobic groups may be: trimethylsiloxyl groups, which are obtainedin particular by treating fumed silica in the presence ofhexamethyldisilazane. Silicas thus treated are known as “silicasilylate” according to the CTFA dictionary (6th edition, 1995). They aresold or made, for example, under the references “Aerosil R812®” by thecompany Degussa and “CAB-O-SIL TS-530®” by the company Cabot;dimethylsilyloxyl or polydimethylsiloxane groups, which are obtained inparticular by treating fumed silica in the presence ofpolydimethylsiloxane or dimethyldichlorosilane. Silicas thus treated areknown as “silica dimethyl silylate” according to the CTFA dictionary(6th edition, 1995). They are sold or made, for example, under thereferences “Aerosil R972” and “Aerosil R974®” by the company Degussa,and “CAB-O-SIL TS-610®” and “CAB-O-SIL TS-720®” by the company Cabot;groups derived from reacting fumed silica with silane alkoxides orsiloxanes. These treated silicas are, for example, the products sold ormade under the reference “Aerosil R805®” by the company Degussa.

According to the invention, hydrophobic silica, such as fumed silica,may be used as a lipophilic gelling agent. The use of fumed silica makesit possible to obtain a translucent or even transparent composition, inparticular in the form of a stick, which does not exude, in the absenceof opacifying particles such as waxes, fillers and pigments (includingnacres).

The at least one lipophilic gelling agent can allow the exudation of thecomposition to be limited and can allow its stability to be increased,while at the same time conserving the composition's glossy appearance,which is not possible with waxes such as those used conventionally incosmetics and dermatology.

The at least one gelling agent, if used, will typically be present inthe composition of the present invention in an amount of from greaterthan 0% to 20% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.
